Mushroom Mania

April 22, 2023

Did someone say morels? (Sshh!) While everyone has their secret spot for those spongy spring delicacies, what shouldn’t be a mystery is how to identify the wild mushrooms commonly found in northern Michigan. Great Lakes Treats and Catering is offering a workshop at the Cathedral Barn at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons to help you learn how to spot 20 wild mushrooms you might come across on a hike, in your own backyard, or at your favorite farmers market. You’ll even get to try a few fungi while you’re at it! After the presentation (which runs about two and a half hours), attendees can participate in an optional mushroom hunt along the trails at the Commons. The class is held from 12pm to 4pm on Sunday, April 30, at 238 E. 10th Street in Traverse City. Sign up for $40 per person and get more information at greatlakestreats.com/class-offerings.
